Abstract

Using the method of classical trajectories, we have simulated the motion of a pair of oppositely charged ions in spherical and ellipsoidal cavities, including cavities that contain cylindrical “crosspieces” and positively charged “nuclei.” We supposed that each of the ions reflected off the cavity wall, crosspieces, and nuclei according to the elastic impact law. Most of attention is focused on the statistics of the events of ion recombination and those of dissociation of the corresponding molecule with an ionic bond. When nuclei are absent, recombination and dissociation events are possible only on collisions of the ions with the cavity wall or crosspieces. In the presence of nuclei, on the other hand, the major part of the events occur in time intervals between the collisions of the ions with the cavity wall, crosspieces, or nuclei.
